  • just get your mate to pay abit more and everyone will be happier with an easier life ! you and him/her


    amiko alien stuff is up and coming with lots of support ! Seriously buddy ! Explain for the price of a MONTHS subscription the box hes gonna use for LIFE is worth investing in ! A £50 box will give you more grief than its worth - unless you like spending hours around ya mates house and trawling thgrough forums your better off not going for "ENTRY" level gear imo.

  • I have a Ferguson Ariva 202e since last week , cheap , nice receiver , nice picture , nice software..... but problems with Disqc "talking" to 4 to 1 switch. !!!! No reply (only "automatic" émail reply) from manufacturer ! I will bring my box back to shop as "faulty" !

  • I have had an F3 for a couple of months now, the kids don't like the EPG and the USB recording is somewhat limited in that it keeps reporting the device is too slow. Also, when the network is unattached and the box is switched on from cold the load sequence gets to 93 stays there for a few minutes and then displays E0001. This maybe firmware related rather than box related., but eventually the box kicks into life if the server is reachable.


    I have also been messing around with an Ariva 202e, the latest firmware version works for awhile then the box reports the dreaded 'ASH' on switch on, RS232 NULL modem cable and a reload of factory firmware brings the box back to life, also struggling with channels not clearing, with either NEWCAMD and MGCAMD, did have it working for awhile but just stopped.


    IMO I do like the F3, both HD and SD picture qualities are better than the 202e and the F3 worked straight out of the box for me, using a Vu+Duo with OSCAM+MGCAM as the server/client
